    stealth 2000 stabile for hunting?

    A friend of mine has one and he uses it everywhere. He has had no problems yet and i think he has a 6 hp long tail mud motor on it. He has not complained about anything besides there isnt much room to carry to many decoys.

    I would like to continue carving my on decoys but I want to use the high density cork from here on out instead of the dark cork. Is there a better place than another to get this and are most places selling the sheets for the around the same price as the next guy. If you guys could send me a link...

    Lee Harker's Passing

    I can say I never met this man but would have loved to been in the blind with him just one time. His words and stories are enough to place his stature among good, honest men. For him to not let us know how bad it is, is what a man like this will do. He would not want us to fear for him or what...

    Anybody use flags for divers?

    Absolutly use one. I never go out without it. I use a flag that is half black, half white. I was gonna use just a black flag but stumbled across this and works better for me than any mojo.

    How long does a pair of waders last?

    I have a pair of the Cabelas ultimate 1600 and have beat the heck out of them. I wear them about 4 days a week and hunt in every condition possible. I do not have a single bad thing to say about them and will not buy anything other than these.

    How do your earn your living?

    I work with my parents at our business that my grandfather started in the 60's. We do awards, engraving and anything along those lines as well as bowling. Back then bowling was a big sport and very profitable. Every year we see it decline more and more. I also do decoy assembly for a lady who...

    Need SBE Advice with Ejecting Problem

    I have an M2 and also have this problem. I have found really the only thing to do is when you clean the recoil spring and cylinder, do not use an oil or any lubricating liquid that is slimy or sticky per say. It collect to much dirt and then does not work well. I use a product called Sheath and...

    NDR Scope Question

    First off, how far are you comfortable shooting? Now, how far are you willing to take a shot. I have used nikon, leupold and now have finally settled on a ziess. I do lots of varmint hunting at well over 400 yards so clarity was most important over certain features. I have a 6.5 x 20 x 50 and...

    Beachcombers find!!!

    Some might think these are silly but I know a guide that makes his own decoys and only uses crab pot bouy's and a hardwood (not sure what species) to make all his buffies, oldsquaws and bluebills. Hold up better than anything I have ever seen. He said go ahead and shoot it, so I very willing...

    First cork

    I carved my first cork decoy. I had an E. Allen hen buffy head and some black cork and decided to make one. It turned out ok but overall I know I can do better. It's my first and already have learned what to do for the next time to make a better decoy. It floats well which I was surprised out...

Towards the end of the season I can tell it starts to work on her but thats only becasue I hunt 4 days a week and go out of state very often. But she...

    Most unlikely place you have seen waterfowl....

    Everyday in my parents swimming pool through the summer. Then into his bird garden to eat the corn he puts out for them. I would like to think its the same pair for the last 3 years now. The worst that happens is they preen in the pool.
